My Project

Our little town is building a brand new elementary school for kindergarten through 4th grade. Although we are sad to leave our beloved building, we are so excited to continue our journey in a new environment.

Out with the old and in with the new has a whole new meaning!

Not only a new building and classroom, but brand new experiences. 3rd grade is planning to departmentalize for the first time for the 2024-2025 school year. I will soon be responsible for creating a welcoming, loving and safe environment for not just 1 class, but 3! Due to departmentalizing, I will need a whole new organization and seating system. I can't wait to incorporate flexible seating and make this a more homey environment. It is true that students learn best when they feel loved and safe. I hope to give them to these awesome kids!

With moving it is time for a fresh start. My new classroom could really use a glow up! My current classroom has desks are decades old, 8 different types of student chairs, and outdated decorations. Please consider helping me transform my brand new classroom into something my students want to come to every single day and never want to leave! Thank you for your time!
